In the end, it was Shanhai himself who spoke.
"I promised easily, but I broke other people's rules. Your grandma's soul... He couldn't tell us. Don't blame him. This is their duty, and I am too independent. If you are dissatisfied, just blame me. If there's anything else I can do to help you, just feel free to..."
When he said this, his voice gradually became softer. He clearly saw Miss Bai's eyes dimming, turning from the previous joy to indifference, and then to the rage at this moment.
"fraud……"
She trembled, and the hair all over her body exploded.
"I'm really sorry, Miss Bai, we..."
She suddenly rushed up, pushed the mountains and seas away, and ran towards the depths of the mountains and forests. He almost fell down, but fortunately Aluan pulled him up.
"Have you met Mr. Jiyue? He hasn't agreed yet? Oh, this is great. I just made the little girl happy."
Shi Wuqi complained, not really very emotional, just a little emotional. Lin Shanhai shook his head helplessly.
"...let's go."
The village was in chaos and they could no longer stay. If we leave here overnight, we might be able to go down the mountain before dawn.
Xiaobai ran deep into the forest, facing the night wind, which was as cold as a knife. Not long after, warm liquid did bloom on his face. As she ran, she wiped her cheeks and took a look, only to realize that it was not blood, but tears.
She still couldn't help crying.
Hundreds of years of practice are very tiring; facing the weird eyes of human beings is very painful. She finally got results, got rid of those contemptuous looks, and made people and even little monsters afraid of her, but she was not happy at all. Only during the period of living with her grandma, she felt as if she had truly lived, lived happily, and was so happy that all the pain and grievances in the past were worth it.
She was tired from running and finally stopped. Wiping away tears with the back of his hand, he squatted on the ground to catch his breath. After resting for a while, she took a few steps in place to calm down her mind.
"……forget it."
She muttered this softly. She thought that although the group of onmyojis were not very polite to her at first, they still helped her scare those unruly people. She began to wonder, had she gone too far?
"Why just forget it?"
"who?!"
Men's chuckles came from around her, and she raised her head alertly, but she saw no one and couldn't hear anyone's footsteps. At this time, a few weak sparks gradually gathered in the air in front of her, igniting a dazzling fire. The fire fell to the ground and instantly turned into a beautiful monster.
He raised the white cigarette rod and made slight gestures in the air.
"That's it, forget it?"
"who are you?"
Her nails became sharp again and her eyes were full of hostility.
"Me? To tell you the truth, I am also an impermanent ghost."
Xiaobai looked into his eyes. The pair of eyes were bright red, and there was a curved and tense golden light in the red.
"...Are you serious? Are you a friend of that Taoist priest?"
"No. What you are talking about should be Master Suiguo. I am one of his friends. Human beings are such arrogant things, and no one can be trusted. Alas, Jiyue-kun is also true, but it's just a mere What can a reincarnated soul have to hide? Could it be that he is doubting your sincerity?"
"Doubt me?" She raised her voice, "Why? She is my only relative. Why should I be insincere? Am I going to find her to do bad things?"
"If you are really sincere...I tell you, it's not impossible."
He came closer and Xiaobai raised his head.
"You really don't lie to me?"
"That's natural. However, after all, I am fulfilling my duties. I wonder if you are willing to... make a deal?"
The clouds in the sky were a little thick, slowly covering the moon behind.
Previously, Master Baigui quietly led the horse out. About half an hour later, two horses were a little tired because they didn't have a good rest. So they reined up their horses and prepared to rest where they were. It was very cold in the mountains at night, and Aluan couldn't stop shivering. When Shanhai lit a fire, Mu Wan was so cold that he stamped his feet.
She glanced towards the place where she left on the mountain, and was suddenly stunned. She grabbed a handful of Shi Wuqi's clothes with her backhand, pointed her other hand towards them, and asked them:
"Look there, is that the village we left?"
Mountains and seas are just in time to burn the firewood. He raised his head and looked in the direction Mu Wan pointed with the others. On the dark mountain in between, there is a long and narrow belt of red light halfway up the mountain. A lot of dark smoke came out continuously, as if it was burning.
"Master Shi, the three girls are in your hands."
Before Shi Wuqi could reply, Lin Shanhai jumped onto the nearest treetop and disappeared into the forest in a few steps. Several people looked at each other, no one said anything, but they all had the answer in their hearts.
Shan Hai was alone and soon returned to the village over there. At this time, the place was engulfed in a sea of fire. The eaves he stepped on collapsed in an instant, causing him to almost fall into the fire pit. Under the high temperature, all the scenes became distorted. The last time I was caught in a fire was at Bai Gu's house, but this time, the scale of the fire was much larger.
He heard the cry of the little boy, looked around, and soon saw the child from the host family. The eaves above were burning, and he immediately rushed up to pick up the child. The eaves collapsed the next moment, connecting with the fire in the courtyard.
"You're nosy again."
This time it was Miss Bai who looked down at him.
She returned to her previous appearance as a woman, made even more attractive by the dazzling firelight, except that the nine tails behind her had all transformed into their real form. Her eyes were still so bright, but their pupils shrank under the bright light, looking vicious and ruthless.
Lin Shanhai is no nonsense. The child was crying beside him. He ignored the coaxing and took out a talisman from his arms to draw water to put out the fire. Although there are no complete preparations, suitable magic weapons, or a complete set of rituals, it is better than nothing. But no matter how he recited the spell, the talisman remained as unchanged as a piece of waste paper.
Xiaobai snapped his fingers, and the spell burned into ashes.
"Don't waste your efforts. You can't extinguish this demonic fire."
Shan Hai raised his head again and stared at her carefully. He noticed that there was a faint flower pattern on the right side of her face, which he had never seen before.
"Miss Bai! Didn't Mr. Shi help you before? Why are you doing this?"
"This account is a one-time deal. If it weren't for the sake of Master Bai Skeleton, I would still let you go. If you don't get out, I will be rude to this child."
When she said this, her tone was cold, as if she was a different person. Shan Hai almost doubted whether the little girl who had laughed heartily at the prank before was the same person as her.
The fire burned badly. Lin Shanhai already knew before he arrived that he was late.
The four people waited below for a long time. The fire became more and more terrifying, but it did not spread. Mu Wan got tired of looking, so he turned around and looked down the mountain. Aluan and Miss Qi were sitting on a big rock, leaning against each other, almost asleep, but Miss Qi was as motionless as a stone. The sky in the east is still dark, and the moon is still covered. Under the dark night sky, there were only two fires, one large and one small, burning quietly on the mountain.
"I'm afraid the mountains and seas can't save them."
Shi Wuqi said calmly and added more firewood to the fire. He had no concern for people's life or death.
"Is it."
"Are you still thinking about what happened during the day? Well, I think this demon fire has a similar demonic aura."
"I originally thought that Huangquan December was all human. Who knew a demon would mix in. When I first met him, I didn't think much about it."
"I can see it."
"Come on you."
"I lied to you to get candy? In the eyes of Liu Dao Wuchang, there is the golden light of three suns and moons. Don't you have bad eyesight."
Mu Wan didn't want to answer the conversation. She knew that her spiritual power was not enough, and she really couldn't tell. What's more, it was impossible for Lord Xueyue to take the initiative to show the Huangquan Bell, so she naturally couldn't draw a conclusion. I really don’t know what the Lord of Naraku’s intention was in asking him to be an impermanent person.
There was a slight sound in the canopy of the trees. They all raised their heads, even Aluan woke up. Shan Hai fell in front of them with a sullen face.
Shi Wuqi asked: "How? But the cat demon did it."
"yes."
"It seems her anger is difficult to calm down..." Aluan rubbed his eyes sleepily.
Shanhai sighed tiredly. There was unconcealable sadness in his eyes, and his face was very haggard.
Mu Wan comforted him: "You can't save everyone... We have done everything we can, don't blame yourself too much."
"Although I feel powerless, I vaguely feel that someone is obstructing me."
"how do I say this?"
"I saw a red flower on her face, and she had a strange evil aura. I always felt that this evil aura did not belong to her."
Mu Wan suddenly became alert, and she immediately asked what the flower looked like.
"Does it look like a lotus flower and glow like gold powder?"
"Exactly. How did you know?"
Shi Wuqi stepped forward and responded to Shanhai, which was the mark between Xuanyue Lord's brows. He thought for a moment and then said:
"I know that big monsters with extremely strong demonic power can leave their mark on other monsters. Using this as a medium, small monsters can also borrow their demonic power and spells. However, this will also cause great damage to themselves, not to mention The owner of the brand usually also manipulates the sigils to turn them into incantations for his or her own use."
"I've heard this too." Mu Wan also lowered his face. "This means that a certain connection has been established between the two. This kind of thing can also be achieved in reverse - to control them is to threaten the little demons to suck away their demonic power."
They totally got it. Lord Xueyue must be nearby, helping Xiaobai set fire to take revenge on the pretext of informing her of the whereabouts of the souls of her relatives.
"Is it still too late?"
Seeing that Mu Wan was about to summon the Tengu, Shan Hai waved his hand and said regretfully:
"This fire is very special. It burns objects just like ordinary fire. But once it reaches people, it can burn them to carbon in an instant. When I rushed over, I only saved the only child. I I wanted to take him away by force, but he couldn't stop crying and struggled out of my arms to run back. At that time, sparks splashed on him..."
He could say no more.
Some lamented, some clenched their fists, and some gritted their teeth.
Okay, okay...Kuchtsuki-kun, right?
